    Bitcoin doesn’t have the arbitration that banks can offer. Bitcoin also uses ridiculous amounts of energy, so much so that I don’t think the network could even handle taking over the volume that the banks currently handle. The idea that it is somehow a saviour for the environment is laughable.

      I don’t think that anyone claimed it is somehow the saviour for then environment. There is a lot more to bitcoin than was possible to reply.
